IMT significantly increases over 2 years in patients with SLE. Age, baseline IMT, C3, C5a anaphylatoxin and homocysteine are all associated risk factors, supporting a role for complement and homocysteine in the early stages of premature SLE-associated atherosclerosis.
Tuberculosis (TB) is worldwide one of the leading causes of death in HIV infected individuals. In Chile, TB rates have fallen dramatically in the general population and new cases are being progressively restricted to high risk groups, particularly immunosupressed individuals. In these patients diagnostic tests have decreased sensitivity and TB frequently evolves to disseminated and rapidly progressive forms. Besides, the concurrent treatment of HIV infection and TB adds further toxicities and the possibility of significant interactions. In this article we review the particularities and advances in diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of TB in the HIV infected patient.
Presentación de un conjunto de marfiles tallados procedentes de la villa de Valdetorres de Jarama (provincia de Madrid). Resultan ser todos ellos piezas de importación procedentes de Egipto, y fechables entre fines del siglo IV y la primera mitad del S. V d. C. Con ellos, pueden reconstruirse hipotéticamente cofres o paneles decorativos.
Las fragmentadas esculturas halladas en el edificio tardorromano de Valdetorres se pueden dividir en dos grupos: un conjunto de mármol gris oscuro, posiblemente tallado en Anatolia en la segunda mitad del siglo II d.C. y consagrado a las gestas de Apolo, y varias obras independientes, en su mayor parte representación de dioses, fechables en los siglos II y III d.C. Se trata de una muestra interesante de coleccionismo artístico en la época de Teodosio.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
